Theatre's Heterotopias is a rigorous and disciplined study of a high scholarly standard, but it is also intelligent and flexible in its approach, combining extended intellectual work with rich experiential material. ... book is an important and original, erudite but graceful contribution to theatre studies and all those variously involved in the theory and practice of the field, but it can also be used productively in other domains of spatial development and construction beyond the boundaries of theatre and performance.
